Keep Exit Doors Unlocked ! The Palladium has been reminded by some of its observing readers that of late in certain local places of amusement they have discovered doors to side exits locked. Some pertinently inquire whether it is the custom of the city administration to have such places inspected to see whether fire regulations are being observed. "In one picture house I discovered that a side exit door had been locked with a key," complains one reader. "The house was well filled at the time. Of course now theatre managers want their exit doors sthat they can be easily opened from the outside by people who want to slip in without the formality of paying their nickle at the box office and no fair minded person would want such a condition to exist. It would be very easy, however, for the manager of a theatre to bolt exit doors instead of locking them." It is just such careless practices as that which several of our readers are now complaining of which result in terrible catastrophes and their protests are well taken. The suggestion of bolting instead of locking exit doors in theatres is well taken. It is always well to remember that locked exit doors were responsible for the terrible Iriquois theatre fire in Chicago several years ago. "Safety First."

Hay and Gray Two of a Kind. The editorial herein quoted, appearing in the Chicago Tribune, pertains to Representative

Hay, chairman of the house committee on military affairs. Its description of Mr. Hay could be made applicable to another member of congress, better known to the citizens of Wayne countyone Finly Gray, a "little navy" member of the house committee on naval affairs. It reads : The New York World reports from Washington that the Democrats of the house have selected Representative Hay for his former position as chairman of the committee on military affairs. If this represents deliberate Democratic policy on defense Secretary Garrison and the army experts have their work cut out for them to get anything intelligent done at the coming session,

and the chances are considerable that .nothing

comprehensively and substantially beneficial in the way of army legislation will be accomplished

until the Democrats lose control of the house.

'-, Hay does not represent Utopian pacifism, but merely stupid and incompetent army policy. He does not say all military defense is a waste and delusion. He is simply, as we have pointed out

on several occasions, for an incompetent system

In a recent interview in the World he talks the

usual cant about military expenditures and econ

omy, but his ideas represent the worst kind of waste our present heavy expenditure without

the creation of an effective defense. Hay's oppo

sition to proper military expenditure may be

tested by his absence of record on the real econo

mies xn public expenditure. He was not and he will not be found among the opponents of pork

barrel appropriations, and it must be admitted

to the discredit of congress that this is a factor of his strength in the house. Men who defend wasteful appropriations on rivers and public buildings do not favor more expenditure on the army and navy for the reason that they fear pressure for economy in their field. The World's correspondent predicts a lineup of the peace-at-any-price or extremist pacifists with the pork barrel defenders in opposition to army and navy legislation. To what extent the president is disposed or able to combat this formidable alliance, on behalf of radical and comprehensive changes and enlargements of our army and navy establishments cannot be guessed at this time. But there is no doubt that men in and out of congress who are capable of placing national need above party or personal interest have before them at this time the urgent duty of fighting this obstruction to defense legislation and of supporting a comprehensive program of constructive defense legislation on lines approved by the army and navy war colleges.

RERUN, Aug. 2. In one .of the ent of the "Leipzteer Neuesto Nsuhrichten" who has been at the western front since the beginning of the war tells the tollowing amusing story and vouches for its truth. "One of the French prisoners who fell Into our hnnds in the battles around Anas and Kouchez during the last few days is Armand Ihivageneaux, a young Kerjreant.

"It seems so, but it is not sure," I answered. "Let me make a proposition. W'e will start out together; either you are my prisoners or I am your captive.

Dolly Writes On Fresh Air

fejeiWO DVK& N1KOIA1 J-lKOlJEVSXC-i.

This is the most recent photograph of Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaivitch, uncle of the Czar of Russia, and commander of the

Russian armies in the field. The Grand Duke is personally commanding the forces which defended Warsaw against the German onrush. He won the Cross of St. George as early as 1878 in the war against Turkey. He did not serve, however, in the recent war against Japan. He is best known as a cavalry officer, but is conceded to be one of the ablest strategists in Europe. In personal appearance he is striking; he stands over 6 feet, 3 inches in height and has a most distinguished and commanding presence. He is fifty-nine years old and very erect and active.

BY DAINTY DOLLY. Doubtless man was intended to live out of doors; but, being an adaptable animal, he survives indoors and apparently thrives. Human beings are continuously taking from the 'air Its life-giving elements and pouring into it their own waste products. If carbonic acid, which we all give out, happened to be a distinct color, we should see the gas emerging from mouths and noses. But as it, i3 we noticed nothing. When we realize that about one-third of our lifetime is supposed to be passed in sleep, the idea of fresh air is worth considering. From hour to hour the lungs and skin give off their poisonous gases; they are breathed and re-absorbed and they then poJcon us. Breathing bad air reduces all the processes and lessens vitality and lowers resistance. Causes Tuberculosis.

Poor ventilation is the chief cause

of tuberculosis and is more fatal than almost all other causes put together.

There is not a sleeping room in the land which contains sufficient air to last one sleeper through one entire night. The advantage of large sleeping rooms is not that they contain much air, but that they permit constant changes of air rapid enough to make good our poisoning it without a

draught. If we need fresh air when sleeping we need it even more when with other people. Like ourselves, gas and lamps and candles need oxygen to burn well; hence the vrey lights which afford so much pleasure are plainly a source cf danger. Each light is a hungry intruder, devouring with" all Its might the scanty amount of oxygen provided for the guests. That is what is meant when we say that gas vitiates the air. In dancing rooms there should be an extra amount of outside air present; for. when dancing, the extra effort makes us consume a greater amount of oxygen and trebles the amount of carbonic acid thrown off. Amusements taken in the open air are best.

TRUSTED CASHIER IS NOW FUGITIVE

BOSTON, Aug. 2. George S. Inman. for 15 years trusted employe oi

the United Fruit company, and for many years cashier, is sought today by private detectives employed by the company to explain an alleged shortage in his accounts, the exact amount of which will not be discovered until the auditors at work on the books have completed their investigation. Although the officials of the company positively insist that the amount involved is only $1,000 or $5,000, it is said that a complete audit will increase these figures all the way from $100,000 to $125,000. His reported flight, so sudden that he left without his hat, followed immediately the unexpected arrival in his office of the auditors of a bonding company.

Tho mere thought of her recent frightful experience is sutlicietit to cause Helen Holmes' cbeelc to pule. The heroine of coiiutlcss hairbreadth encounters with death, none of her adventures c:m approach that which occurred to her tho other day. Think of riding over three miles laslih1 to the driving rod of a locomotive! You don't think it possible? Nevertheless it happened. Although Miss Holmes wan n week in recovering from tho effects of this terrible ride, she is tit present none the worse for Hie experience. The incident which caused nil the trouble was a light between Keartlon dmI his lireman. Haley. Both men were In love with Helen, and because Haley fancied that his engineer was making the better progress he deliberately picked u quarrel The men were separated. But hate lurked in their heart Two hours later, while the freight was making the run from Bell station to Thomas junction, Reiirdon missed ills fireman, . He had seen the man just n few minutes previous. Bringingthe train to a halt, Iteardon reported Haley's absence to the conductor. A hasty investigation failed to reveal the mlssln? man, and the freight proceeded on It Jonrney. '

JU-tydon never guessed that his fire-

accident. In stepping from the tender to the first of the train of freight cars Haley stumbled and fell between the tender and the car to the ties. A sheeJ miracle saved him from death, but the blow- he sustained back of his head left him an idiot. In some manner Haley made his waj back to Bell. A westbound freight hai" just pulled in, and the man dodged between the cars. Holin, passing, saw the flrema.-i. Before she could say n word, however, Haley had leaped upon her. A blow from his fist knocked the girl senseless. The engine crew of the freight had dropped off to eat the contents of their dinner pails. Consequently nobody saw Haley, carrying Helen in hi? aris, approach the locomotive. It re. quired but a few moments for him i carry cut his plan, and soon Helen wn firmly lashed to the driving: rod. - With a wild cry naley climbed intthe cab and jerked the throttle opei The driving rod plunged forwarc down and up. Faster and faster it wen. A scream burst from nelen's lip. The cry attracted the attention of th train crew, but before the horrifiec men could interfere the engine was fai down the track. How Helen was rescued in time to save her from death it told in "A Wild Ride," an episode o Kalem's sensational "Hazards of He

man had experienced a most peculiar 1 en Railroad Series."

ANNOUNCEMENT The following prices f.o.b. Detroit, effective Aug. 2, 1915: Ford Runabout $390.00 Ford Touring Car ........ 440.00 Ford Town Car . . . 640.00 No speedometer included in this year's equipment, otherwise cars fully equipped. There canbe no assurance given against an advance in these prices at any time. We guarantee, however, that there will be-no reduction in these prices prior to Aug. 1, 1916. Profit-Sharing with Retail Buyers On August 1, 1914, we made the announcement that if we could make and sell at retail 300,000 Ford cars between August 1, 1914, and August 1, 1915, we would share profits with the retail purchasers, to the extent of from $40 to $50 on each car. We have sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the time specified, and profit -snaring checks of $50 each will be distributed as rapidly as possible after August IS, 1915. Retail purchasers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing coupons, properly endorsed, should do so without delay. Our plan to profit-share with retail purchasers of Ford cars during 1914-15 has been most successful. We thoroughly believe in it, but, realizing the uncertainty of conditions generally, makes it advisable to defer any announcement of future profit-sharing until a later date. We are, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs for several months, and therefore can offer no profit-sharing for cars delivered during August, September and October, 1915.
